Zechariah 7:4-14

4Then cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 unto meH413, sayingH559, 5SpeakH559 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, When ye fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and in the seventhH7637 month, evenH3588 theseH2088 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, did ye at allH3605 fastH6684 unto meH413, evenH3588 to meH413? 6And when ye eatH398, and when ye drinkH8354, do notH3808 ye eatH398 for yourselves, and drinkH8354 for yourselves? 7Should ye notH3808 hear the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath criedH7121 by the formerH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 was inhabitedH3427 and in prosperity, and the citiesH5892 thereof roundH5439 aboutH1961 herH5439, and the SouthH5045 and the lowlandH8219 were inhabitedH3427? 8And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto ZechariahH2148, sayingH559, 9ThusH3541 hath the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 spokenH559, sayingH559, ExecuteH8199 trueH571 judgmentH4941, and shew mercyH7356 and compassionH7356 everyH376 manH376 to his brotherH251: 10and oppressH6231 notH408 the widowH490, norH408 the fatherlessH3490, the strangerH1616, norH408 the poorH6041; and letH408 noneH408 of youH3824 imagine evilH7451 againstH376 his brotherH251 in your heartH3824. 11But they refusedH3985 to hearken, and pulled away the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085. 12Yea, they madeH7760 their heartsH3820 as an adamant stoneH834, lest they should hearH8085 the lawH8451, and the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 had sentH7971 by his spiritH7307 by the handH3027 of the formerH7223 prophetsH5030: therefore cameH1961 there greatH1419 wrathH7110 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 13And it cameH1961 to passH1961 that, as he criedH7121, and they would notH3808 hearH8085; soH3651 they shall cryH7121, and I will notH3808 hearH8085, saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; 14but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among allH3605 the nationsH1471 whomH834 they have notH3808 knownH3045. ThusH3808 the landH776 was desolateH8047 afterH310 them, that noH3808 manH3605 passedH5674 throughH5674 norH3808 returnedH7725: for they laidH7760 the pleasantH2532 landH776 desolateH8047.
